DOUGLAS C-47 SKYTRAIN

D-DAY 1944-2014 70th Anniversary

~~Described by General Eisenhower as one of the four weapons that helped the Allies to win the Second World War, the Douglas DC3 and its military variant, the C-47 Skytrain (Dakota in RAF service), has since gone on to be an instantly recognizable symbol of both air travel and the liberation of occupied lands that so characterized the Second World War. Continuing to serve even today in both modernized and original formats the DC3/C-47 is now seen as a pioneer of air travel.
